To ensure your best interests
are protected
We are independent from agents/developers, so there is
no conflict of interest in our advice. Bear in mind foreign
lawyers can often act on both sides of a transaction
which must question their independence.
DO NOT
Sign any contract before receiving legal advice - once
you have signed you are bound by its terms. |
|
DO NOT
Pay any money over until advised it is safe to do so or
you may lose it for good. |

...and why use Birchall
Blackburn?

Certainty. We offer
a fixed fee service, so you know how much it will cost
from the very start. Contact us for details of our fees.
Reputation. Our specialist
foreign property team has many years' experience
in conducting property transactions overseas. We also
have a network of trusted associates abroad.
Convenience. You can
speak to us without worrying about the language, the time
difference or the cost of international calls. Why go
to the trouble of finding a lawyer in the country you
are buying in, when you can use someone in the UK?
Security. We are regulated
by the Solicitors Regulation Authority which has strict rules of conduct.
Many legal advisors abroad are not subject to the same
type of rules and regulations.
Insurance. We hold
professional indemnity insurance that covers you should
anything go wrong because of the advice we give. Many
foreign legal professionals are not subject to compulsory
insurance and in the event of a problem you would have
to take action against them in the foreign courts.
